WELCH — On an evening when Mount View honored the 1990 Golden Knight football team that finished as Class AAA state runner-up, the Man Hillbillies crashed the celebration with a 48-6 win over the host Knights at Vic Nystrom Stadium.
Remarked veteran Man head coach Harvey Arms, “I thought we did really well. On offense, we were able to make some big plays. John Thomas (Keffer, the Hillbilly quarterback) played really well. Ross Osborne, our wide receiver, played really well. I thought we blocked well up front.”
Those highlights mentioned by Coach Arms, along with several unmentioned, helped Man improve to 2-0 on the young season.
Keffer completed 10-of-18 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns. Osborne was on the receiving end of two of those scoring tosses.
The Hillbillies scored in every quarter on the way to the victory.
Defensively, Man held the Knights to only 32 yards on the ground and 82 more through the air.
Assessed second year View head coach Larry Thompson, “They (Hillbillies) came out and jumped on us early. They’re a tough, physical team…We didn’t bring it tonight.”
Man lit the scoreboard with 1:45 left in the initial chapter with an 11 play, 72 yard march that was capped by a 25 yard Dustin McCoy scamper up the middle. Keffer booted the conversion for a 7-0 lead and the Hillbillies were off and running.
The ground attack of Jace Duba, McCoy and Jacob Frye, rolled up 232 yards in the win.
Mount View, winners over River View in the season opener last week, got on the board on its inaugural series of the second half when junior Joseph Hayes raced 48 yards off right tackle for the six.
The Knights will host Independence next Friday for homecoming, while the Hillbillies will travel to Man.
